Auburn, NY – Performing artist Frank Ferrante has been entertaining audiences for over two decades with his show, "An Evening with Groucho" where he conjures the spirit and comedy of comedian Groucho Marx. The show is coming to the Auburn Public Theater for shows from April 11 though the 17th. WRVO's Mark Lavonier spoke with Ferrante and prepared this portrait.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities.
